Article editinge with nnimap

Hi every ones,

When I push  `e' in the summary mode, il  edits the current's article.
I  use  this feature  with  _nnmail_ and  _nnmbox_.  But  I have  recently
migrated to an  IMAP connection. This feature is  not working anymore.

Could you tell if is due to my IMAP server or to _nnimap_ which
doesn't implement that feature ?

It's written : 

``gnus-summary-edit-article:  The current  newsgroup does  not support
article editing´´

Thanx,

--

IMAP does not support article editing.  It has been suggested to
delete the old article and to insert a new article into the group as
a workaround, but nobody has implemented that workaround.

Would you like to try?

gnus-summary-edit-article could check if the backend supports article
editing.  If not, it deletes the old article and runs
gnus-request-accept-article when the user does C-c C-c.

If you intend to save the edited article somewhere besides your imap
group you might find it usefull that using the C-u prefix will force
the edit to work.  Well not completely, you still can't save it to the
current group but you can edit the message and send it somewhere else.

I don't really have any imap groups to make sure above is correct, but
it does work on nntp groups  which do not support editing either, so I'm
guessing the C-u prefix will work in imap too.
